In this episode, Constantine Karayannopoulos (Former Neo Performance Materials CEO), Onno Rutten (VP & Portfolio Manager at Mackenzie Resources), and John Cook (SVP & Portfolio Manager at Mackenzie Investments) break down the harsh economic and geopolitical realities of the global energy transition and the important role of critical minerals play in it.
From China’s 50-year strategy to monopolize rare earths to the massive looming copper shortage and the need to double the global electricity grid in just 20 years – the race is on, and Canada and the West are scrambling to catch up. The discussion covers the urgent need for a domestic processing blueprint, the reality of Canada's "burdensome" 15-year permitting timelines, and how targeted action on regional hubs like BC’s "Copper Highway" and Quebec's lithium clusters can unlock billions in private investment.
